SLOW COOKER PORK ROAST



Slow Cooker Pork Roast image

I tried this cut of meat when it was on sale, and for lack of any other ideas I took suggestions from the back of the label, with a few tweaks (like making gravy). This is a very popular dish at our house, and it could not be easier! Instead of rubbing the roast with the onion soup mix and then adding the cranberry sauce, you can also just mix the onion soup mix with the cranberry sauce and pour the whole mixture over the roast.

SLOW COOKER POT ROAST



Slow Cooker Pot Roast image

Taking the time to make a smooth, thick gravy for this slow-cooked dinner is worth it. As the pot roast cooks, the water and juices from the vegetables and meat will thin the gravy out, creating just the right consistency.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

One 4-pound beef chuck roast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
3 stalks celery, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
3 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the roast all over with 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roast to the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes, turning as needed. Transfer the roast to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker, along with the carrots, celery, onions and garlic.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, bay leaves, thyme, allspice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking, until the gravy is smooth and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour the gravy into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The roast and vegetables should be tender.
  • Remove the roast and let rest for a few minutes. Discard the thyme stems and strain the vegetables, reserving the gravy. Toss the vegetables with half the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining parsley into the gravy and season with salt and pepper. Slice the roast against the grain. Serve the meat and vegetables on a platter, moistening them with some of the gravy; serve the remaining gravy on the side.

1 (4 pound) beef chuck roast
1 ½ teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 yellow onions, quartered
3 cloves garlic, or more to taste
2 cups beef broth
1 cup vegetable broth
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme, chopped

Steps:

  • Season beef chuck roast with sea salt and black pepper; put into the crock of a slow cooker with onion quarters and garlic cloves. Pour beef broth and vegetable broth over the roast. Lay bay leaves and thyme atop the roast.
  • Cook on Low for 7 to 8 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good options for slow cooker cooking. These cuts are tough, but the long, slow cooking time will break down the connective tissue and make them tender.
  • Brown the meat before cooking. Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to keep it moist. You can brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat or in the slow cooker itself on the high setting.
  • Add plenty of liquid. The liquid will help to keep the meat moist and flavorful. You can use water, broth, or even beer or wine. Just make sure that the liquid covers the meat at least halfway.
  • Add vegetables and herbs. Vegetables and herbs will add flavor and nutrition to your slow cooker roast. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, potatoes, and thyme.
  • Cook the roast on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The cooking time will depend on the size of the roast and the type of meat you are using. Check the meat with a meat thermometer to make sure that it has reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
